Nivea - Sun Protect & Moisture Moisturising Sun Cream Lotion - Spf 10 Low - 200ml

Product Information

BHT has a long history of safe use, and not just in cosmetic products. The World Health Organization did an in-depth examination that found BHT to be suitable for use in food. So it’s even safe to eat! What’s more (or less, as it were): cosmetics contain a clearly lower concentration of BHT than foods. BHT has been used around the world in cosmetic products for decades and has proven safe and highly tolerable – there has been no indication that it may cause allergies, either. Coenzyme Q10 is a molecule that our bodies produce. It is essential for our cells’ energy metabolism. As an energizer it helps our cells to grow, stay healthy, and regenerate. Q10 is also a potent antioxidant that fights free radicals, highly reactive molecules that damage cells on many levels, including cell DNA, proteins, and lipids.

NIVEA uses approximately 30 different silicones, and about 20 percent of our products globally – mainly leave-on products, like face creams and lotions or deodorants, contain silicones. Why so many different silicones? Because each and every one of them has a specific effect, and we take care to include only ingredients that have a noticeable benefit for your product experience. Silicone oils in lotions and creams make sure that the product is a delight to apply and give your skin a silky smooth touch. In haircare, silicones prevent static charge and frizz, making for soft and supple hair. In liquid deodorants, they ensure that the active antiperspirant ingredients are distributed evenly and nothing gets lumpy.

Almost all living things need oxygen. Yet oxygen is also powerfully reactive and causes many other substances to oxidize. Rust, for example, is the result of iron oxidation. Oils and fats get rancid when they oxidize. This is where BHT comes in. Only a tiny amount of BHT (short for the rather unwieldy name butylated hydroxy-toluene) prevents oxidization. It is used in foods, medicine and cosmetics to help products keep fresh and last longer. Numerous studies show that fragrances increase our well-being and have a positive effect on our minds. Depending on the composition, they can have, for example, a calming or energizing effect. Fragrances make cosmetics (and many other products) smell good and distinctive: They impart pleasant odor, mask the smell of some effective but not nice smelling ingredients, enhance the experience of using the product and help us to express our individuality. The sun is there to be enjoyed by all, and with NIVEA’s line of sun care products, enjoy it you shall! We don’t just offer sunscreen either. We have lotions, sprays and roll-ons that are perfect not only for staying protected from those harmful UV rays, but also for keeping your skin healthy, moisturised and soft, no matter what season it is. Everyone’s skin is unique, so we made sure we have an equally unique line up of sun care products that are guaranteed to match your specific needs. Selected NIVEA Sun Kids products include colorants to make the application of sunscreen more playful, so that children connect sun protection with fun from an early age on. One of the first things you notice about any cosmetics product is their unique smell. Fragrances give skincare and other products their pleasant and very characteristic odor.

NIVEA Protect & Bronze range ensures you are equipped with a sunscreen that will provide effective protection against UVA / UVB. Our sun creams are expertly formulated to ensure skin is left feeling light and non-greasy, but protected and hydrated. The Protect & Bronze tan activating oils and sun lotions come in factors 20 and 30 so you can find the right SPF for your skin's needs. And for an easy sun protection application, we have a range of spray on sunscreens, such as our Protect & Bronze Tan Activating Sun Spray SPF30. Silicones are the “smoothifiers” of the cosmetics world: without them, face creams and lotions would be tougher and less pleasant to the touch. Chemically speaking, silicones are a group of compounds containing chains made up of silicon atoms and oxygen atoms, combined with other elements. They can withstand very high temperatures, do not react easily with other substances, and are skinfriendly. There have been concerns that aluminum may increase the risk of breast cancer and neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s. Elevated aluminum content has been found in the brains of persons with Alzheimer’s disease. However, it remains unclear whether this is a cause or an effect of the disease. At this point, parabens are the safest and gentlest preservatives we can use. However, we keep constantly researching to find the best, effective and healthiest ways to keep our products, our environment and you safe. NIVEA only uses parabens in about 20 percent of our products - up to 80 percent are paraben-free. Take our classic NIVEA cream: its oily formula keeps it fresh without preservatives. All of our baby products are also paraben-free. A few products which still contain parabens are some face creams, sunscreens and body lotions. We include preservatives in these products to make sure they remain safe for you to use. Research into UV filters and their environmental impact is still in its early stages, however, and has so far mainly been conducted in laboratories. There is therefore no scientific clarity as yet on the extent to which UV filters impact coral reefs and the wider marine environment under real life conditions.NIVEA SUN also offers sun care products for skin types with special requirements. For sensitive skin, we recommend the NIVEA SUN Protect & Sensitive Sun Lotion. The formula is specifically developed to reduce 3 types of wrinkles: Forehead wrinkles by 21%*, crow's feet by 27%*, plus cheek & mouth area wrinkles by 13%*. NIVEA Q10 Power Anti-Wrinkle Protecting Face Day Cream SPF 30 - NIVEA’s purest Q10 with dual action power.

NIVEA Sun products use emulsifiers, e.g. Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, to disperse tiny oil droplets in water - just like your milk in the fridge - to provide a product which is pleasant to apply to the skin. For Delicate Facial Skin - The formula with Q10 prevents and fights the appearance of sun induced fine lines, wrinkles and pigment spots. Developed for normal/dry skin types. The light formula with moisturised & smooth skin feeling makes this sunscreen ideal for every day use. The formula is ophthalmologically approved (aka eye friendly). Skin compatibility dermatologically approved Parabens are preservatives. They make sure that skin care products, especially those containing a lot of water, stay fresh over a long period of time by acting against germs and fungi. Parabens can be created artificially or found in natural ingredients such as carrots, cucumbers, olives and more. Both effective and highly tolerable, parabens have been used to preserve cosmetics, household products, medicine, and foods for more than 80 years. Over the decades, parabens have been intensely researched. In fact, they are the most researched preservatives of all. The results: both the European Commission and the independent U.S. evaluative commission (Cosmetic Ingredient Review / CIR) agree that parabens are safe.NIVEA uses fragrances in most of our products. Our fragrances are carefully composed of natural and synthetic ingredients. In line with our principle not to put anything in our products that doesn’t have to be there, we use fragrances in a very controlled manner. To make sure that every fragrance we use is safe and stable, we have created a special list which defines maximum quantities for certain fragrance ingredients and which provides other binding requirements to ensure quality and safety of all our fragrances, going far beyond existing legal requirements. This so-called restriction list for fragrances applies to every one of our fragrance suppliers. As our skin ages, the Q10 levels in our skin cells rapidly decrease. There are also other factors that lower the Q10 level, including stress, certain drugs, and UV radiation. Foods like meat, eggs, fish, nuts, potatoes, broccoli, and spinach are good sources of Q10. Topical application of appropriate cosmetic formulations containing the skin’s own coenzyme Q10 verifiably replenishes the skin's Q10 depot. This supports the energy metabolism of skin cells and reduces the number of free radicals. The formula is 68% biodegradable and respects the ocean by being free of UV Filters Octinoxate, Oxybenzone & Octocrylene and free of Microplastic. The tube and cap are made from 50% recycled plastic. The folding box cardboard is carefully selected and FSC approved.
